| ¡EIntroduction |
The modern surgery in Taiwan originated right after the World War ¢º. The National Taiwan University Hospital was the pioneer to treat patients in this country by means of surgery. The surgical principles differ among physiologic systems, due to their different functionality. Therefore, Professor Fu Si-Nien, former principle of University, settled several subspecialties for the department of surgery in the Hospital to further specialize the training of residents. The orthopaedic surgery was among these subspecialties. It progressed rapidly in the following years, by the contribution of pioneer orthopaedic surgeons as well as the advancement of modern industry and biotechnology. The variety of operations increased, and the surgical outcome improved, Concentrating on the musculoskeletal system, the orthopaedics is unique among surgical subspecialties. This led to its separation from the department of surgery in the Hospital in 1987. In the next year, the inauguration of Department of Orthopaedic Surgery was authenticated in the College of Medicine, announcing it an independent unit. Six subspecialties were further settled within the department in 1995, namely the general orthopaedics, sports medicine, spinal surgery, pediatric orthopaedics, hand and foot surgery, and traumatology. They have functioned as a whole, with individual specialties working cooperatively with one another.
The Department owns talent faculty and adequate facilities. The teaching covers a broad spectrum, including both basic and clinical medicine, and features biomechanics, musculoskeletal physiology and pathology, clinical diagnosis, fundamental orthopaedic management, preoperative scheme and postoperative care.
Evidence-based medicine is the core of these subjects. The education aims on humanism, emphasizing comprehensive medical care, sound physician-patient relationship, appropriate attitude of practice, and the ultimate respect to lives. The teaching adopts a problem-oriented technique, concentrating on the training of logical inference, and the ability to apply abstractive theories on realizing the improvement of human health.
The Department has devoted creatively on long term, founding medical research within the campus. The directions are twofold: to promote the indigenous medicine, and to increase the international cooperation. The latter is achieved by intensive communication with globally famous research institutes, including those expert on biomechanics, biochemistry, molecular biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. The conclusion of these basic researches is then applied on clinical practice. To pace up with the ever-progressing modem medicine, the Department keeps a wide prospect by joining and organizing international meetings, and providing opportunities of exchanging scholarships.
Finally, the Department follows the A-1 policy of this medical campus and set the future development on:
The vision: Asia Number One Orthopaedic Medical Center
The mission:
1. The best orthopaedic training program
2. To the best benefit of the patient
3. Open orthopaedic new frontiers.
The common value: Life is infinitely valuable. Health is the number one.
